BACK TO THE PARK - AGAIN



 It was expected to be a hot and muggy day so I hit the park early Sunday morning - it was nice at first because of the cloud cover but when the sun came out it I could feel the heat.  And that was around 10 am - I did manage to find a couple of wheat pennies, clad and a token ( thought it was a colonial coin at first) and not much else.  I'm still hoping there is some older silver there - will have to wait until the next soaking rain - need every advantage I can get.

A PENNY DAY AT THE PARK BUT...


I went back to the park after hunting with K last weekend - I found nothing but pennies but 2 of them were wheat and I found my 4th large cent - 1848.   I have never found that many in one spot -  3 was my best.  Now I'm hoping there is a seated coin there after finding all these large cents.  It's back to the park for a few more hunts.
